2012 IS HERE

Another year underway. I hop all of you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with you fmailies and friends. I know many members participated in local Christmas Bird Counts and it certainly was quite different given the milder weather. Winter birding is quite enjoyable so do not let the snow and cold slow you down. A quiet walk through the woods will often turn up a number of birds to enjoy.

This is also the time of the year we also see hawks and owls that have come down from the north in search of food. These are great birds to see but often there is a "feeding Frenzy" mentality as birders flock to view them. Remember the safety of the birds is number one priority and also remember to respect property owners and do not tresspass. The BFNC supports the OFO Code of Ethics and it is alway good to review this document.

2012 will be time for elections again for the Executive. Some of the current members will be stepping down or changin postions. We can use volunteers to help fill the Executive amd bring some new blood and ideas. Many of you will have noticed it seems to be the same group of people giving of their time to make the BFNC what it is. Serving on the Executive does take some time and effort but it is generally a pleasant job with the rewards being seeing what the BFNC enjoys. If you are interested talk to anyone on the Executive for more information. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy "Asl not what your BFNC can do for you but what you can do for your BFNC."

Our next meeting is Tuesday Janaury 3 at the South Shore Centre in Barrie, our annual joint meeting with the Barrie Garden Club. I hope to see you there
